Picked these up through the Alliance Gnomer quest, The Grand Betrayal (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2929) around lvl31. Just hit lvl42 and still cant find anything better.

Playing a NE Arms Warrior.

Snece the last patch (5/22/07) the armor number is green.

Do you think these would be good for a 25+ protect spec Paladin or would you say to get something with less armor that has stat bonuses?

These made a Good Twink item for me, added the Leg Armor of course, even lasted after i got bored and leveled. Gnomer quests can level you fast so be careful, look for someone with the Key becuase to get these you face the last boss.

I've been wearing these pants for 7 levels, and you barely see anyone walking around with a pair of these, or any other Quest Rewards. These are great.

Back when I was new to the game and levelling a warrior as my first character, I used to think these were really awesome pants. I felt that these and the Green Iron Hauberk were definitely the chest and leg pieces you wanted to be wearing at level 31 with your warrior.

Now in retrospect, with better understanding of the game mechanics, I see now that these pants really aren't hot at all, and that I'd probably not bother with the Green Iron Hauberk either, just sticking with the Shining Silver Breastplate through levels 24-39.

The thing with these pants are that they are tanking pants, at a level where tanking isn't important at all, and even then I'd rather use an "of the bear" green for tanking because in the typical instance you pug at level 30-39, you just need to hold aggro... the mobs just don't hit hard enough to warrant dedicated mitigation pieces.

Really you should wear any green "of the bear" or "of the tiger" legs off AH over these - e.g. Thick Scale Legguards giving +8-9/+8-9 str/stam/agi. While levelling any class you always want dps stats, not pure defensive stats.

For RP purposes, Night Elf guards wear these leggings.

Lots of Armour points, about double that of most others its level. The weakness of them is no + stat. If you use them buy an enchant ASAP.

About comparable to L 40 plate

Comment by Belexar

I really like this leggins. Just hit 40 and still can´t find anything better. They also llook really cool on my male char and very sexy on female characters.

I used a pair of these with an enchant plus had a green iron hauberk till like L 43-44 till I replaced them with some min level 43-44 plate. They are basically equivalent to L 40-41 plate.

As far as green iron hauberk vs shining silver breastplate, both are awesome. Green iron has like 120 more armor points, shining silver has several more strength points. Rough call. If you find/can afford iri pearls while shining will still level your BS get it and skip the green iron, If you don't find iri preals before you can make green iron, just make a green iron and forget the shining silver.

How can people say they can't find anything better... Anything with STR on it is better than this pile of poo. I would rather take the Triprunners instead of these due to the high crit chance from agility

Comment by Santee

Not that good for level 29 pali/warrior twinks. Got lots of str and def rating but because 1/2 of the attacks or more heading to 60% is magical it's a big useless. Would prefer Phalanx 9str 9sta so you have both AP and health.

If you like the skin of this armor, you can find the same skin but of the random drop green version here

Comment by Quest

These seem to be pretty good PvP Stalwart pants.

Comment by Yaersulf

These do NOT look sexy on a gnome... just scary.

Comment by Lithios

I have to say, you don't really need the extra defense on these leggings at such a low level. They should remove it and put stamina or strength on it since the armor on it is pretty high compared to other "green" leggings you'll get at this level.

Comment by Aliok

I'm surprised no one has said "bikini armor."

Oops. >.>

Comment by jrgwarman

Too bad they're no longer obtainable. Looks like I won't ever be throwing them out on my warrior.
